•Implantable microparticles can deliver two cancer therapies at once
89% Informative
MIT researchers have designed tiny particles that can deliver two types of therapy: heat and chemotherapy.
This approach could avoid the side effects that often occur when chemotherapy is given intravenously.
In mice, the therapy completely eliminated tumors in most of the animals and significantly prolonged their survival.
The combination therapy may extend the patient's lifespan longer than giving one treatment at a time.
The polymer used to make the particles is biocompatible and has already been FDA -approved for medical devices.
The researchers now hope to test the particles in larger animal models.
They expect that this treatment could be useful for any type of solid tumor, including metastatic tumors.
